Self-studying the C part in Calculus BC

<p>So how long would it take to study the C part? I'm currently in AB and I understand it all pretty well. The only part of C that I know right now is U-substitution and I'm pretty good at that. </p>

<p>Would a couple hours a week until the AP be sufficient to take the test or should I not even bother and stick with AB? For most colleges, would they even differentiate credits for having taken both exams?</p>

<p>You can only take either AB or BC in a given year (they have the same test date/time). BC credit would probably override AB credit.</p>

<p>BC has an AB-subscore, so by taking BC, you are tested on both AB material and BC material. If you're confident enough on BC stuff, just go ahead and take the BC test, because you'll be able to get a score for AB as well.</p>

<p>I lol'd when I saw the test.</p>

<p>"Yeah, I'm taking Calculus C." </p>

<p>XD. BC is a joke. I can tell you that I'm not even in the class, I took practice test, only two wrong on the multiple choice. Long response was pretty straightforward too.</p>

<p>dude, U-substitution is C stuff?
suh-weet! that makes me feel accomplished.</p>

<p>Were you born with some innate knowledge of Calculus?</p>

<p>^Nah. Mu Alpha Theta made me a diehard. xD.</p>

<p>@ Sea Legs - U substitution is AB stuff. I don't know where OP got the idea it is only "C" stuff, because a lot of AB is u substitution.</p>

<p>u substitution as in solving integrals? Yeah, that's AB.</p>

<p>As for self-studying BC... If you're just starting now, then good luck. You'll need it.</p>
